Background: The prognosis of patients with early relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma after the receipt of first-line chemoimmunotherapy is poor.

Methods: In this international, phase 3 trial, we randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, patients with large B-cell lymphoma that was refractory to or had relapsed no more than 12 months after first-line chemoimmunotherapy to receive axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel, an autologous anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy) or standard care (two or three cycles of investigator-selected, protocol-defined chemoimmunotherapy, followed by high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem-cell transplantation in patients with a response to the chemoimmunotherapy). The primary end point was event-free survival according to blinded central review.

Methods: In this ongoing, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 3 clinical trial, we investigated the safety, vaccine efficacy, and immunogenicity of two doses of AZD1222 as compared with placebo in preventing the onset of symptomatic and severe coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) 15 days or more after the second dose in adults, including older adults, in the United States, Chile, and Peru.

Results: A total of 32,451 participants underwent randomization, in a 2:1 ratio, to receive AZD1222 (21,635 participants) or placebo (10,816 participants).

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the effectiveness of mRNA vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna) against COVID-19 among U.S. health care personnel who were prioritized for early vaccination.
  • It utilized a test-negative case-control design, comparing vaccinated individuals with positive SARS-CoV-2 tests (cases) to those with negative tests (controls) while adjusting for various demographics and health factors.
  • Results showed that partial vaccination had effectiveness rates of 77.6% for Pfizer and 88.9% for Moderna, while complete vaccination led to 88.8% and 96.3% effectiveness, respectively, with some variations noted in specific demographic subgroups and over time.

Artificial intelligence-based tools designed to assist in the diagnosis of lymphoid neoplasms remain limited. The development of such tools can add value as a diagnostic aid in the evaluation of tissue samples involved by lymphoma. A common diagnostic question is the determination of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) progression to accelerated CLL (aCLL) or transformation to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (Richter transformation; RT) in patients who develop progressive disease.

Background: This study investigates the use of modern machine learning (ML) techniques to improve prediction of survival after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT).

Methods: Retrospective study of adult patients undergoing primary, isolated OHT between 2000 and 2019 as identified in the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) registry. The primary outcome was 1-year post-transplant survival.

Background: Radical surgery is the first line treatment for localized prostate cancer (PC), however, several studies have demonstrated that surgical procedures induce tumor cell mobilization from the primary tumor into the bloodstream.

Methods: The number and temporal fluctuations of circulating tumor cells (CTC), cancer associated fibroblasts (CAF) and CTC cluster present in each blood sample was determined.

Results: The results show that both CTC and CTC cluster levels significantly increased immediately following primary tumor resection, but returned to baseline within 2 weeks post-surgery.

This guideline provides updated recommendations on the role of preprocedure testing for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) in individuals undergoing endoscopy in the post-vaccination period and replaces the prior guideline from the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) (released July 29, 2020). Since the start of the pandemic, our increased understanding of transmission has facilitated the implementation of practices to promote patient and health care worker (HCW) safety. Simultaneously, there has been increasing recognition of the potential harm associated with delays in patient care, as well as inefficiency of endoscopy units.

Background: Patterns of medication administration prior to in-hospital cardiac arrest (I-HCA) and the potential impact of these on patient outcomes is not well-established. Accordingly, types of medications administered in the 72 h prior to I-HCA were examined in relation to initial rhythms of I-HCA and survival.

Methods: A retrospective, pilot study was conducted among 96 patients who experienced I-HCA.

Malnourishment-Associated Acetaminophen Toxicity in Pregnancy.

Obstet Gynecol

May 2021

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Rochester Medical Center, the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, and the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, New York.

Background: Although acetaminophen is commonly used in pregnancy, it can deplete glutathione concentrations and cause accumulation of 5-oxoproline, with subsequent metabolic acidosis.

Case: A malnourished 25-year-old woman, G2P1001, with chronic acetaminophen use presented with abdominal pain and high anion gap metabolic acidosis. After ruling out other potential causes, her urine 5-oxoproline level was found to be elevated.

Pharmacologic interventions are often used to assist with immobilization and decrease anxiety in pediatric patients undergoing radiation therapy. For these patients, distraction can be an alternative to using pharmacologic measures to address anxiety. As a distraction technique, this pilot project placed pediatric patients aged 3 to 6 years in a remote-controlled ride-on car (RC-ROC) to enter and exit the radiation therapy treatment room.

Mitragyna speciosa, a tropical tree also known as kratom, is an emerging substance of abuse with dose-dependent stimulant and opioid-like effects. Kratom may be purchased legally in the United States and is marketed online as a safe alternative to opioids and a cheap alternative to opioid replacement therapy. However, adverse reactions to ingestion are largely unknown and may pose a significant public health risk.

Preterm birth increases the risk for pulmonary hypertension and heart failure in adulthood. Oxygen therapy can damage the immature cardiopulmonary system and may be partially responsible for the cardiovascular disease in adults born preterm. We previously showed that exposing newborn mice to hyperoxia causes pulmonary hypertension by 1 year of age that is preceded by a poorly understood loss of pulmonary vein cardiomyocyte proliferation.

Introduction: Timing to start of chemoprophylaxis for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains controversial. We hypothesize that early administration is not associated with increased intracranial hemorrhage.

Methods: A retrospective study of adult patients with TBI following blunt injury was performed.
